Well, it's time for season 11 of Supernatural. I have to say, the first episode was better than I expected, but then again my expectations where pretty damn low, so...
First a quick side note. I know for some reason I said Person of Interest was starting soon, but, let's face it, they have not announced when the new season will premiere. So, I'm an idiot and we'll get to it when the time comes. Let's talk about Supernatural instead.
This is late because I've had extra shifts at work, so I just haven't had the time or energy to get this done before. However, I should have enough time to get to episode 2 this weekend or so.
I have not forgiven this show yet for season 10, but I have calmed down enough in my rage to watch and enjoy episodes from earlier seasons. As long as the show stops reminding me what it did to Charlie (fucking recap..), I can keep thinking that she is alive and well and everything will be fine.
I don't have a whole lot to say about this episode. I don't really get the Darkness, or her motivations, or how the fuck are she and Dean so connected (would she have this much power over Lucifer or Cain?), or what the point of the infected people was. But I'm going to let that slide and assume they will address this in the future. Also, they really need to address the fact that they apparently did kill Death permanently. Are reapers still functioning? Does Dean now have Death's powers? I mean, they had to go somewhere... Death is kinda important in the universe.
Now, I'm not a fan of the flashback technique. It can be done well ('Out of Gas' is my favourite episode of Firefly), but generally I don't like it. It's one of the many complaints I had about the first part of season 8 of this show, so that's a big minus in this episode.
I think the best moment was when Sam bluntly said they needed to stop lying and saving each other and start saving the world again. But now Sam is infected and didn't tell Dean, so fuck that then.. I need to keep reminding myself that this is just the first episode. There is still time for the writers to address all this and fix it. I just wish they'd get to it already.
So does the end mean that Amara was the Darkness? And that Dean's focus to save her was all because of the connection they share and because he will always help her? You know, I read few interviews before the episode aired where the actors and Jeremy Carver were saying that this season is a return to the dynamic of the Winchesters against the world, without the brothers needing to save each other from demon blood or whatever. I gotta say, so far they are not delivering. They might not be saving each other, but the fact remains that Sam is infected and apparently Dean is kinda under the influence of the Darkness.
Also, can we stop torturing Cas? It was heartbreaking to see him pray to his siblings, but apparently the angels are pissed at him for some reason. Why are they so angry? Do they blame Cas for the Darkness' release? Because that is all on Sam (I'm still so pissed at Sam). Why are the angels capturing Cas and torturing him?? I mean, I've seen the promos, I'm like 99% sure that's what's gonna happen. Or is it just these two geniuses, not the whole Heaven? Also,why the fuck did Cas attack that family's dog??
Not a lot to say about Crowley's plot. But I love the mention of the Cage! Please tell me more! Oh, and can this mean that Lucifer and Michael are coming back?!? Please! I need Chuck, Gabriel, Lucifer and Michael to come back and save the world, because there is no way in hell that the Winchesters should be able to do that.
Oh, and the new title card is actually kinda cool.
